Wrong. They were pure pish.
The lead singer apparently wants enough smoke from the smoke machines so that he 'can't see his microphone'. This indeed happened and for the first 15 minutes, we could not see the band at all (which, as it turns out, was a good thing as they turned out to be: middle aged, boring and unattractrive). Now I don't like to generalise (actually, come to think of it, its one of my favourite things to do) but I noticed several things about Nine Inch Nail fans:
- they smell
- they have bad hair
- they are awfully stupid
I base the last one on a woman who came up to me when we were standing upstairs (in blue boiler suits and a fluorescent yellow jackets emblazened with 'FIRST AID') who asked 'Could we make the smoke machines stop'. Now I'm never one to denigrate the importance of first aiders, but when was the last time you thought 'Hmmm, I don't like the lighting in this venue... I know, I'll tell the first aiders, they'll be able to use one of their triangular bandages...'. I can only assume that NIN fans somehow mistake the words 'St Andrew's First Aid' for 'Stage Manager' or 'Smoke Machine operator'.
The only song I recognised was 'Hurt'... and it made me appreciate how much better Johnny Cash's version was.
I bet his fans smelled better too.
